Al Jazeera
Four activists who joined a daring hunger strike are planning to take legal action against the United Kingdom prisons that allegedly mistreated them.
London, United Kingdom – A month after being released on bail, pro-Palestine activists who participated in a months-long hunger strike in prison are planning on taking legal action over their alleged mistreatment.
On Wednesday, at a news conference where four of the activists spoke about life in jail and their lasting medical conditions, Lisa Minerva Luxx, a campaigner who supports the group, said the defendants are “seeking to take legal action against the prisons for their medical neglect”, adding, “legal action is due to take place”.
Eight young activists linked to the protest group Palestine Action began a rolling hunger strike in November that lasted until January.
Qesser Zuhrah, 21, Teuta Hoxha, 30, Kamran Ahmed, 28, and 31-year-old Heba Muraisi were bailed in February after the High Court ruled that the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful. They had been held on remand for 15 months in connection with a raid on the Elbit Systems UK factory in Filton, near Bristol, on August 6, 2024.
Heba Muraisi, who refused food for 73 days, told Al Jazeera she is still suffering from “neurological issues”.
